THE RADIO DEPT. SHARE NEW SINGLE “SWEDISH GUNS”

Running Out Of Love is an album about life in Sweden in 2016 moving in the wrong direction: politically, intellectually, morally. It’s about the impatience that turns into anger, hate and ultimately withdrawal and apathy when love for the world and our existence begins to falter. The issues addressed throughout the band’s stunning fourth LP – out 10/21 via Labrador – are relevant not just to Sweden but around the globe. New single “Swedish Guns” (lyrics below) is a haunting takedown of the Swedish arms industry.

Swedish Guns Lyrics

What’s that in the air? The Swedish guns And what is that right there? That’s Swedish guns Let’s have a second look It’s Swedish guns Must be by the book It’s Swedish guns

And guess what came to town The Swedish guns And guess what burned it down The Swedish guns And every life they took With Swedish guns Now everywhere you look It’s Swedish guns

When you want something done When you want something done Just take me by the hand We’ll make them understand

If you want something done Get Swedish guns Take care of someone Get Swedish guns You need a helping hand? Get Swedish guns Secure a piece of land Get Swedish guns

They should turn around The Swedish guns And force us to the ground With Swedish guns Cause who can be to blame For Swedish guns? A clue, it’s in the name A diabolic shame

When you want something done When you want something done Just take me by the hand We’ll make them understand
